Freeform Origami | Software

A very interesting application:
This software is a design software that allows users to interact with origami forms while altering the crease pattern of the model. The software can keep:

Developability (foldable from a piece of paper)
Flat-foldability (foldable into a flat shape)
Planarity of facets (paper do not twist in 3D form)
Point coordinate coincidence
Paper size
Available on September 2010
